Penny is a darling. And a rock star. And a swim goddess. Always an inspiration, now she has has smashed another record. A big one. The longest solo unassisted ocean swim--68 miles, accomplished in forty hours and forty-one minutes. Straight. And no, she did not use a wetsuit, shark cage, or noodle. And what makes it even more fantastic is she is one of the most lovely, sweet, grounded people you will ever find. LOVE HER and her hard-core goodness!!! Big congrats to you Penny.

We have a new event this year!The NY Harbor 10k/5k Charity SwimSunday September 11, 2011We are raising money for several projects and initiatives. First priority will be aquiring equipment for races and swim support in order to keep our entry fees low. We are also spearheading initiatives that include developing swim teaching programs for kids and adults as well as researching ways for creating a permanent waterfront home for CIBBOWS. CIBBOWS is partnering with other organizations with complementary missions in order to keep our waterways clean, promote access, and help bring people to the water.
